Overview
Overview
X-Analysis is an advanced and easy-to-use analysis tool. The tool’s instant and automated
features like visual impact analysis, cross-referencing, and graphical documentation of
RPG and COBOL applications endow this software with a remarkable edge. This section
briefly explains the benefits of X-Analysis and the hardware prerequisites needed for
successful installation of the software.
BENEFITS OF X-ANALYSIS
The X-Analysis product suite is an essential tool for IBM i application documentation,
design recovery, and re-engineering. The X-Analysis software works as a plugin under
IBM's RDi / RDp / WDSC and Eclipse, enabling you to browse and visualize applications
from a high-level model down to individual lines of code. This globally renowned tool is
packed with features like RPG & COBOL as pseudo code, variable level impact analysis,
graphical flow/structure charts, graphical data flowcharts, PDF/MS Word and MS Visio
documentation wizards. X-Analysis allows technical analysts to navigate graphically
through an IBM i application from a Windows PC. Working in a true client-server mode, XAnalysis automatically cross-references databases and ensures that the display is always
up-to-date and a true representation of the application on the IBM i.
PREREQUISITES

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM / DFD
A Data Flow Diagram or DFD is the diagrammatic representation of the data flow. A DFD
depicts all the possible interrelationships among the files and programs contained within a
particular application. A color-coded DFD simultaneously plays the dual role of showing
the data flow at high object level, besides providing contextual details regarding specific
variables and parameters passed between objects.
The DFD uses bus-routing layout, thus, allowing two benefits. One, it gives a precise idea
of where and how the entered data affects the output desired; two, it helps you visualize
how an object within an application correlates with the other objects. The diagrams
showing the data flow in neat blocks help even a non-technical user get a clear idea of the
object(s) interrelationships.
To generate the DFD, return to the Object List using the navigation arrows available on the
Eclipse toolbar. Select the object, CUSF and then choose the Data Flow Diagram option
from the context menu as shown below:
Data Flow Diagram option
This brings up the DFD for CUSF, as shown below:

Impact Analysis & Graphical Documentation
Data Flow Diagram for CUSF
The DFD is also a graphic equivalent of the Object Where Used data. Besides the Logical
Views/Access Paths for CUSF, you can see how CUSF fits into the application (i.e. the
programs that update CUSF, programs that use CUSF as an input file and so on).
The dynamic and interactive DFD makes it easier to access other features contained within
an object. There are varied and flexible features and options like Hide/Show Objects,
Expand/Collapse Referenced Objects, View Annotation, Attributes – all of these and
more are explained in the sections ahead.
Hide/Show Objects
For a better grasp of object interrelationships, you can hide/show all objects concerning
programs. A single-click action on the icon alongside the objects enables you to hide/show
objects. In the following screenshot, the icon against Access Paths is clicked to hide
objects.

VARIABLE WHERE USED
This option is specifically useful for conducting impact analysis. It returns all source lines,
where field/variable of a file or program is used and/or referenced, in any of the source
members. The source members searched also include device files and copybooks.
From the DFD for CUSF, search and select the OE002 object. We can clearly see that the
fields used by CUSF are CUSNO and PRPCDE. Select CUSNO and opt for Variable Where
Used from the context menu, as shown below:

The Default View Level for the Variable Where Used option can be set in the
X-Analysis Preferences (General Preferences) window.
As an example, let us test the View Levels for the CUSNO field.
Level 1: Level 1 lists all direct references to the CUSNO field.
Variable Where Used – View Level 1
Level 2: Level 2 adds extra indirect references, “one reference removed,” to the Level 1
list. For example, CUSTOMER is set equal to CUSNO (a direct reference), and then
CUSTOMER is a variable in the statement “IF CUSTOMER = ZEROES” (a one reference
removed indirect reference).

Level 4/Parameters: Level 4 further includes fields used as parameters. For example, in
the statement “CALL LETN (&CUSNO &PREFIX &LETSQ)”, CUSNO is a parameter to call
LETN.
Variable Where Used – View Level 4
Level 5/Cascading Parameters: Extending the information in Level 4, Level 5 includes
references where CUSNO fields are parameters in a function, called by another function.
Maximum Tracking: Tracks the usage of a variable or a field to its maximum level of
indirection.
This is the highest view level, also referred to as ‘Maximum Tracking’. It displays Variable
Where Used information for all the levels mentioned above, as well as any other possible
references of the CUSNO field.
The Variable Where Used option can be opted over a large variety of items including:
Files, Array Definitions, Data Structures, Sub-Fields of a Data Structure, Indicators, Key
Lists, Data Fields, File Formats, Subroutines, Program Variable, Array Elements, Parameter
Lists, Parameters, Key Fields, Message Ids, EXCPT Names, etc.
STRUCTURE CHART DIAGRAM / SCD
In order to interpret the application design it is important to have an idea of how the
control transfers from one program to the next. The Structure Chart Diagram or SCD
addresses this need by presenting a graphical diagram. It contains relevant information as
per control flow and call structure. In addition, the data input objects and the summarized
description of each object can be viewed. Important functional aspects like updates,
prints, and displays are color coded to help you quickly focus on these commonlypreferred details.
To create an SCD, select the OE002 object from the DFD for CUSF.

Relational Data Model Extraction for IBM i
Configuring the design of an application depends on an accurate data model.
X-Analysis features the advanced capability of automatically extracting data model from
an RPG/COBOL-based application. The data model derived through X-Analysis is viewable
as an interactive diagram. The software extends the benefit of perusing the file-centric or
application area specific filtering of the diagram.
This section highlights the importance of understanding an application design and
describes how the Data Modelling solution set helps in deciphering complicated codes of
databases, thereby, making data maintenance and development work a less cumbersome
process.

Relational Data Model Extraction for IBM i
The Data Modelling solution set is an add-on module dedicated to data model extraction.
Prior to analyzing a legacy system, it is important for you to understand the application
design. An analyst looks for the Data Model information of the legacy system, which forms
the foundation of the application design.
In the context of X-Analysis, the term Data Model refers not only to the physical model of
a database design but also to the foreign key or the relational model.
X-Analysis automatically derives an explicit physical and logical data model by analyzing
both the actual data and the programs that use that data, and thus verifies the existence
of any potential cross-file relationships. It performs an integrity check to ensure that all
data from dependent file validly refers to the data records from the owning file.
A complete data model that accurately describes all possible relationships among the files
is essential for productive maintenance and development work. Such a model also
provides a foundation to automate critical data administration tasks such as referential
integrity testing and test data extraction.
The graphical representation of automatically generated Data Model information in XAnalysis is a Data Model Diagram. The Data Model Diagram displays file relationships for
an application or an application area.
GENERATING DATA MODEL DIAGRAM
Double-click on the Data Model Diagram node under the cross-reference library,
XAN4CDXA.

What’s Next
What’s Next
Over two decades of dedicated research and development has rewarded us with a
sophisticated software solution like X-Analysis. Built to meet the requirements of
advanced computing and analysis, X-Analysis and its varied features make it easy to
understand how a legacy application works. We also experienced how X-Analysis helps in
analyzing one big application as smaller logical business areas. Its enhanced Data
Modelling feature not only exposes the Business Rules implicit in the data and the process
models of an application, but also digs out the vast amount of business logic buried inside
the source code of the programs.
Today, we are at that exciting phase from where we can look forward to being more
progressive and introduce futuristic Re-engineering or Re-architecting tools and solutions.
The X-RPG/2E Modernize module is one such innovate.
As we already know, X-Analysis dissects legacy application programs to decouple screens
from embedded business logic. This componentization can be leveraged by the X-RPG/2E
Modernize module to generate JSFs, JavaBeans and ORM objects, thereby assisting in rearchitecting a legacy application in J2EE.
Having seen the X-Analysis solution set in action, you are now equipped to get on with the
application redevelopment.
